In the video Mr. A shared, a figure that appears to be a woman is standing on top of the soundproof tunnel. Mr. A explained, "Usually, when there is work on the highway, there are vehicles or signs to guide, but there were none at the time, and it didn’t look like a worker because there was no safety helmet or vest."


Netizens who watched the video reacted with comments like, "Isn't that a ghost?", "I got goosebumps for the first time in years," and "If it’s a real person, how did they get up there?" One netizen even claimed, "A female middle school student went up there to watch the sunset."


Regarding this claim, other netizens scoffed, saying it was ridiculous and not to joke around.


However, this netizen’s statement was later proven true. At the time, a report of "a person on top of the soundproof tunnel" was received by the police, and upon dispatch, it was confirmed that a female middle school student had climbed onto the soundproof tunnel.


The Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency Highway Patrol said, "When we arrived at the scene, a teenage female student living nearby was on top of the soundproof tunnel," and added, "We immediately brought the student down safely and handed her over to her parents."

It was investigated that the student climbed onto the soundproof tunnel using a passageway and ladder installed for facility inspection. The student told the police, "I climbed on top of the tunnel to get a better view because the sky was beautiful."



The police requested the Korea Expressway Corporation, which manages the soundproof tunnel, to install locks on the inspection passageways and ladders to prevent such incidents from happening again.
